"Rockwood Strategic demonstrates exceptional historical outperformance by executing a concentrated deep-value active turnaround strategy in heavily neglected UK micro and small-cap equities."
Rockwood Strategic Plc presented its Q3 2025 performance, confirming its position as the No. 1 UK Small Companies Fund over 3 and 5 years. The fund capitalises on an inefficient UK SMID market where valuations remain severely depressed due to domestic capital outflows and restrictive monetary conditions. The manager, Harwood Capital, outlines key turnaround holdings like Vanquis Banking Group, Flowtech Fluidpower, and James Fisher & Sons, each offering highly asymmetric upside (>100% to >300%) driven by new management teams and rigorous cost-cutting programs. Operating with a 3-5 year time horizon, the concentrated portfolio focuses on businesses where active engagement can catalyze operational improvements, mean-reversion, and clear exit pathways.
